My interest in the Epstein case is rooted in more than 25 years as a trusted trauma ally to a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and is dedicated to that survivor and my late son, Brad, a detective whose interviewing skills often led perpetrators to reveal more than they intended. Drawing on decades of experience in political affairs, public relations, risk management, and more than 50 years of analyzing insurance policies, I bring a unique perspective to investigative research. Much of my professional work has focused on nonprofit organizations, sexual abuse prevention, and organizational accountability. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from Humboldt State University, but my greatest qualifications come from a lifetime of asking questions, following evidence, and seeking answers.
